Dems Warn Against Calling Bidens to Testify: It ‘Would Be Rolling a Grenade Down The Senate'

Senate Democrats issued stark warnings on Wednesday that Republicans would severely damage the institution of Congress if they acquiesced to a push from Trump allies to haul former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter for testimony about their actions in Ukraine.

A top Biden ally, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), told The Daily Beast that calling the 2020 presidential contender—who served for 35 years in the Senate—and his son for testimony “would be literally rolling a grenade down the aisle of the Senate” that would have “lasting consequences” on the upper chamber’s ability to work together.

The idea of bringing in the Bidens to testify has gained traction in recent days as allies of President Donald Trump have flirted with counter-programming the impeachment proceedings in the House by having the GOP-led Senate call witnesses of their own.

Burisma Paid Joe Biden $900,000 for Lobbying – Ukrainian MP
Ukraine News Agency ^ | October 9th 2019

Posted on 10/9/2019, 2:22:20 PM by Jacquerie

KYIV. Oct 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden received $900,000 for lobbying activities from Burisma Group, Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada member Andriy Derkach said citing investigation materials.

Derkach publicized documents which, as he said, “describe the mechanism of getting money by Biden Sr.” at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine’s press center in Kyiv on Wednesday.

“This was the transfer of Burisma Group’s funds for lobbying activities, as investigators believe, personally to Joe Biden through a lobbying company. Funds in the amount of $900,000 were transferred to the U.S.-based company Rosemont Seneca Partners, which according to open sources, in particular, the New York Times, is affiliated with Biden. The payment reference was payment for consultative services,” Derkach said.

This stuff goes back to 2008;

I wonder what the reaction would be if creepy Joe weren’t running for office?

I don't care if you want to call them Republicans, GOPelites, RINOs or #NeverTrumpers. They're all democRATS in their behavior.

The UniParty, if you will. But they're all corrupt.

The only ones I trust anymore are Trump himself and his MAGA folks.

One only has to do is read between the lines and it is obvious who the corrupt ones are.

And it isn't Trump.

That’s nothing compared to the mess that will be made if “We The People” are forced to take care of things. Your choice.

I just came to the conclusion that the house will censure trump, but not send formal impeachment to the senate.

In spite of the fact that they have no authority to do it, and censure will only play with their lapdog press.

Love your post.

Just iron-clad proof that Coons is another in a long line of idiots who LITERALLY don't know what the word 'literally' means...

Words have meaning. (Well, they USED to...)

Both Bidens would probably refuse to appear if subpoenaed. The precedent is there.

Since the entire impeachment scam is based on passing off what the Bidens did as if they were Trump’s actions, I can see why the DemocRATS do not want the Bidens to testify.
